guesty86 Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 Hey guys and gals, excited to get another grow going this year, had 2 yrs off n itching to get back at it. Trying somthing new this year, i germed my seeds about 5 days ago. My plan is to start these girls early under a 110w cfl untill the daylight hours get longer. Going 5 of each but only picking the best 4. Il use a couple to check sun strength before i transfer outdoors to determine whether they need full shade or not to begin with. A question i have is whats the minimum amount of light hrs i can give the girls in the tent before theyl go to flower? I figure as long as its under what the hrs will be outside when i plan to move them out there i sld be fine. But is it 12 exactly or under? I plan to put them out on the 27 of aug, with a day length period of 12hrs 16mins. So i plan on keeping girls under the lights at 12hrs 10mins. Will this be low enough to induce flower? Or is it 12 or under exactly? They are fem seeds and i dont want plants going through stress of flowering then re vegging. Any thoughts welcome.

.............................. Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 why dont you just leave your light in for 13hs, then they will stay in veg. imo 10min is not going to make any difference, they will start to flower. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guesty86 Posted August 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 Cause i was under the impression if they went outside and the hours were less than what they had in tent, yhey wld flower. Not 13hrs outside til end of october, or there about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakedcake Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) Go the end of October, or if they reg photo seeds then you could put it out and I would suspect it would reveg no problem - just may go through a little stunted patch but it’s a long season they be back in no time. That’s just my 2cents Edited August 18, 2018 by bakedcake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faith Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) Hi guesty, by my understanding the plants won't be sexually mature for around eight weeks. Should get you enough time to let the sun catch up to your lights maybe then just let em go Peace and good growing to you Faith Edited August 18, 2018 by Faith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guesty86 Posted August 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 Yea i think il go 13hrs and put out when its 12hr30mins. With each day gradually getting longer they sld be ok. Thanks for the help stoners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShitsNGiggles Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 Some strains will flower at 13 hours. Some strains flower until 13.5 or even 14 hours so end October beginning November. Id keep them under 15 hours of light to vege them minimum. You could do 14 1/2. This would be the absolute minimum hours for vege time. Hope this helps.

guesty86 Posted August 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Think i worked it out. I plan on putting girls out when daylight hrs are 13.5hrs long. So if i run it now on a 18/6 cycle, il just drop it down halfa a week from now i sld be right as its 10 weeks away. Fingers crossed it pays off 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
